Title: | Mathematical knowledge of some entrants to a pre-service education course | Contributor(s): | Mays, Heather (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11350 | Abstract: | Standards for teaching emphasise the need for teachers to have deep content knowledge. To assess the mathematical knowledge of students enrolling in its B.Ed. program, the University of New England has introduced a mathematics diagnostic test. This work is the first stage of an ongoing research project into the numeracy needs of students entering the B.Ed. program. The test is a pen-and-paper test that replaces previous on-line, multiple-choice tests. This paper reports on the test results, discusses some common errors made by students and outlines the future direction of the research. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAMT 2005: 20th Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers Biennial Conference, Sydney, Australia, 17th - 20th January, 2005 | Source of Publication: | Making Mathematics Vital: Proceedings of the Twentieth Biennial Conference of The Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers, p. 186-193 | Publisher: | Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers Inc | Place of Publication: | Adelaide, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130303 Education Assessment and Evaluation | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930202 Teacher and Instructor Development | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.aamt.edu.au/Professional-reading/AAMT-conferences/Proceedings |
